Easter has arrived in the dining room!
Even though our dining room is far from finished, we are ready for Easter with a new vignette on the dining table!
Peter Cottontail and his friends have hopped their way onto our dining table, and scattered brightly colored Easter eggs along the way! We don’t have large Easter gatherings at our home, but I still love decorating the dining table for the holiday.
Our dining room is large and open, with very high ceilings, and the walls are painted white, so I wanted the table decor to be bright and colorful. Velvet Easter eggs in gorgeous Spring colors from LoveFeast Shop were the perfect addition.
The center of the table is filled with a grouping of my faux chocolate bunnies, as well as a new tall bunny that I recently found, standing in the back of the grouping. All the bunnies are standing on a base that is an antique plateau mirror that belonged to my mother. You can see a little bit of it peeking out from underneath the bunnies.
Layered across the table you will see hydrangeas, lamb’s ear, seeded eucalyptus, and lavender, all faux from Hobby Lobby.
Those faux chocolate bunnies are still one of my favorite DIY’s. They look like real chocolate!
Taking center stage among the chocolate bunnies is a large velvet Easter egg, and tucked in among the flowers are velvet carrots, strawberries, and eggs, all from LoveFeast Shop.
The velvet Easter eggs are the newest addition to LoveFeast’s silk velvet tabletop decor, and they are absolutely gorgeous!
The velvet is luxurious as always, and the eggs are wrapped in crystal trim giving them the perfect bling.
One of the plans I have for the dining room is to create paneled walls by adding picture frame moulding to the walls and then painting a darker color. The room is so large, and the white walls don’t give it the depth that I would like to see. I think painting it in a darker color will make it feel a bit cozier than it is now.
I’m also going to be adding a rug to the floor to anchor the room.
In celebration of the new gorgeous velvet Easter eggs, LoveFeast Shop is offering all of our readers a 15% discount on your purchase! Yay! All you have to do is use Promo Code “22EES15” at checkout. The Promo Code is good through the end of March 2022. Thank you LoveFeast Shop!
And because I love all of you so much, (I have the best, most loyal, followers in the world!) I want to do a giveaway of a faux chocolate bunny, and a couple of the velvet eggs and carrots!
It’s easy to enter, just leave me a comment and tell me what your favorite Easter tradition is! The giveaway will close at midnight on Friday, 03/18/22. The winner will be notified by email.

Good luck in the giveaway! I can’t wait to read your comments!
Cheers, Cindy
UPDATE: Congratulations to our winner, Ashley Waller!
Easter is for family. We have a large family and we gather at my sister in laws house after church for cocktails and a large dinner or brunch. If someone has no Easter plans they are invited to join us so no one spends Easter alone!
It’s so beautiful!
What a great giveaway! I love everything about Easter…the services at church that week, time with family, everything turning green, the flowers, a wonderful lunch with family and friends <3
My favorite Easter tradition was always dying eggs with my mawmaw. I can still smell the vinegar she used. We would spread out newspaper and sit in the floor and try to get the most vivid eggs we could. My pawpaw would then sit on the back porch with a salt shaker and eat eggs for several days afterwards. I continue the egg dying tradition with my 5 year old daughter. She is autistic and colors/painting/crafts are one of her favorite things so she really looks forward to it. We love looking at all your posts and my daughter always says your house looks like a princess castle.
My favorite Easter tradition is getting everyone together for a great meal!!
My favorite Easter Tradition is the family meeting at Church for Easter Mass, the grandkids coming back to Nana and PaPa’s to look for Easter eggs and baskets, a relaxing light brunch and then prepping for the ham dinner together later in the day. It surely is a lovely time wearing new outfits, enjoying the weather, and each other.♥️
Beautiful room. My favorite Easter tradition is to go to church to remember the resurrection of Christ with my family, lunch afterwards and a family Easter egg hunt.
When my kids were little they would leave carrots by the front door for the Easter Bunny on Saturday night and in the morning they would go out and find that the carrots had bites out of them and that the Easter Bunny had left them baskets of goodies to thank them for the carrots!
My favorite Easter tradition is making up Easter baskets for my grown son and other adults in my life.
Ekena has the best molding. You can find it on Amazon! It is very inexpensive and easy to work with. As far as my favorite Easter tradition it would be hiding eggs in our Gardens for all the neighborhood kids to find!
I love your new home! Your antique furniture is right at home in it. I love your blog and always enjoy your new posts on Fridays with a cup of tea. Your Easter decor is so cheerful! Thnx for your pics and ideas.
My favorite Easter tradition is hiding the eggs and then watching the kiddos find them all and put them in their Easter baskets!!
What a beautiful and creative Easter tablescape. I love how you created the Easter bunny centerpiece and the velvet eggs add just enough bling to the table.
I am an avid follower of your blog! Your style is beautifully curated and looks absolutely stunning.
My favorite Easter tradition is playing EAster Bunny and leaving a trail of half eaten carrots for the littles to find their baskets filled with vintage items and truffles. My children are grown now but I still do this every year for them to find when the come to visit for our annual Eater Dinner.
I love the brightness of your floors. How lovely they sparkle enhancing every detail of your exciting decor. I read in the future your desire to anchor the dining area with a rug. Meanwhile, I enjoyed the overall beauty of the dramatic display and it certainly didn’t lack any glory due to a floor covering. I derive much pleasure reading your blog. Thank you for my today visual treat.
Good morning! I have recently discovered your site & love your style. Makes me want to redecorate the whole house! Scaring my husband to death, LOL . For now I’m happy with your idea of making chocolate bunnies. I have made three, so cute. Being Irish, I have to wait until after the 17th to decorate for Easter, I’m grateful it is late this year. Thank you for the sweet giveaway.
I love your blog and all the information and pictures you share and the DIY’s! Thanks so much. Easter what a great day! We remember Our Lord and Savior was crucified and rose the third day! We go to church, then head to my in-laws for lunch and to spend time with family. Then hide the Easter eggs for all the little ones. Now we all have grandchildren and meet at my sister-in-law”s to eat, hide the eggs and spend the afternoon with family. All of my grandchildren are now 17- 24 and then my daughter and son-in-law decided to have another so we have a 5 year old that we can do all these fun things with again! And the older ones hide and hunt with her! Time with family is precious and we should take time to enjoy them.
I would have to say going to church in our fancy bright Easter outfits. Then spending the day with family over a very thankful meal.
Miss RubyLou does look a little upset with you.
Maybe she remembered she can’t have chocolate bunnies
I love decorating the house with Easter goodies, but Easter to me is planting pansies and primulas in the garden. The nursery’s are filled with new seedlings and after a Hot Cross Bun and a cup of tea it’s off to dirty my hands planting.
Cindy,
Your decorations are so pretty I’m loving what you are doing in your new home it is so lovely. My favorite is the sunrise service at church, I try to imagine that morning when they rolled that rock and realized he was no longer there and carried my sins away. When my kids were young we loved the egg hunt but my emphasis was always on the spiritual side.
Your dining table decor is exquisite
My favorite Easter tradition is the egg hunt for our 7 grandchildren, that began when the oldest were toddlers. They are now ages 21 down to 14. The plastic eggs are filled with candy and coins, and there are the same number of each color, so it’s equal. Each ‘child’ chooses a color, and parents hide the eggs. The older the child, the more difficult the find. It has become hysterical, but so much fun, to see these grown people frantically searching for eggs. This grandmother enjoys it more than the kids.
Have a Happy and Blessed Easter✝️
Easter morning Sunrise Service with our church. Also the children parade down to put live flowers on a wooden cross that’s just beautiful.
I love your Easter table. You never fail to bring beauty into our day. Thank you. Our favorite tradition (surprise) is the Easter egg hunt for the little ones. So much fun. I am not as talented as you, but I am 86 years young and. I still decorate for every season and every holiday.
I always put out my collection of vintage German egg candy containers. I have been collecting g them for about 37 years.
My family has always had a lot of traditions associated with Easter. Early morning Easter baskets, new clothes for church service, dyeing eggs, hiding eggs over and over and over, and big family get togethers. But as we have gotten older I really enjoy the quieter Sunday afternoons, when our children and granddaughter and friends come by for a dinner of ham, mashed potatoes, green bean, and of course deviled eggs!
Since I was in high school I have always made/help make a bunny cake from 2 cake rounds and continued the tradition with my children, even during the years there were no younger children in the family. Now 50 some odd years later I make it with my grandsons! And we go to church on Easter Sunday and afterward have a big lunch with ham, then an egg hunt – adults included! I love your blog, so beautiful, and your FB posts, so uplifting.
Making an Easter cake with green dyed coconut and robin’s egg candy to decorate it with; it tastes as great as it looks! However, your table would make anything taste good, as pretty as it is!
Love your home!! I also loved your post on making those “chocolate bunnies”!! I’ve been on the lookout for some bunnies ever since! I’ve been doing Easter egg hunts every year since I was a little girl (along with my sisters). Then of course I continued on with my children. My grandmother, their great grandmother; even joined in one year! She lived to be 101! Now I have 4 grandchildren of my own! I hope we get to hide eggs this year!!
Your table is happy and oh so pretty, I think the chocolate bunnies
And the bling velvet eggs had something to do with it!
We are excited as family will be joining us and it will be the early
Morning egg hunt, breakfast on the patio, and church as usual.
Traditional but, we can’t wait. 4yrs. without seeing family (military)
Being with each other and the love that will fill our home it the greatest
Blessing there could be.
Your new home is lovely. Love your style! When my children were young my husband was in the Army so we didn’t have family near and moved every couple years. So we always dyed eggs as a family and had a hunt with treats and coins in plastic ones as well. These are cherished memories for sure!
Thank you for having such a wonderful giveaway!
Your table is lovely and I am so glad you are posting often again. Even if we don’t have children visit on Easter, all the grownups still have an Easter egg hunt. Thank you for the inspiration. I was planning to do my table tomorrow.
Thank you for commenting, Nazaria!
Our favorite Easter tradition was going to Easter Mass (as I was confirmed Catholic on Easter) and then of course dinner with family complete with a beautiful lemon cake. It always has a birds nest on top filled with jelly beans.
How lovely, Mich!
Hello Cindy!
Love the Easter decorating pictures and of course your puppy all dressed up is the cutest ever! We love having a family Easter gathering and hiding eggs in the yard with the grandkidos. The golden eggs have the $ so it can be quite egg hunt. Easter candy which includes a lot of chocolate of course is to be enjoyed by all, especially the adults! Happy Easter and may we all enjoy a very special and thoughtful Easter this year. Cheryl
Happy Easter, Cheryl!
Love your Easter table. I agree with your list of future improvements. Glad you are close enough family will be coming home. That is our tradition, gathering together and for the past 10 years with grandchildren, we have relay races in the yard, in addition to dying eggs and egg hunts. Not to mention church.
Thank you, Pam!
My favorite memory of Easter is when I would make sugar eggs with my aunt. It was so much fun to pick out what I would put inside for my Easter scene.
What a wonderful memory, Becky!
I love your beautiful table and those chocolate bunnies. My favorite Easter tradition is making Jello eggs. My grandmother made them by blowing out real egg shells, but I take the easy route and use Jello molds. Happy Easter!
I love that idea, Lisa!
Happy Easter! Even though our children are all grown up now, I still enjoy dying Easter eggs!
❤️❤️❤️
My favorite Easter Tradition is with my Granddaughter. We make the resurrection eggs together. She is now six and loves to recite them to anyone who will listen. It’s a wonderful learning experience for her to learn and share the meaning of Easter.
What a beautiful tradition, Kerie!
Thank you for always providing such beautiful inspiration. So happy you are back posting and have a new house to work on. I have two favorite traditions. First is a lamb cake that was made every year by my Nanny and Mom covered in coconut. Now I make it for my grandchildren. The second is the Easter egg hunt! For as long as I can remember one egg can’t be found but is always found the following year. Pretty gross but it has become the prized egg. It started when my children were very young and continues to this day. RubyLou is so beautiful. Thanks you for the give away.
Wonderful tradition, Mary!
I like to place vintage Easter cards in with my bunnies,carrrots and flowers. To read what people wrote long ago to their loved ones at Easter time is so sweet.
What a sweet idea, Linda!
Love your bright and cheerful table! My favorite Easter tradition was when my mom stuffed plastic eggs with chocolates and coins on the lazy-susan and at dinner time the three of us kids could pick an egg each night leading up to Easter.
I love your tradition, Lynne!
Hi Cindy, love your new house and can’t wait until it evolves. When I was a child we would put out our Easter shoes. And Easter Sunday there would be a gift and candy. We are Irish heritage so don’t know if it was Irish thing or my mom just made it up. I loved it either way. Theresa
Theresa, what a beautiful memory! Thank you for sharing!
It’s so lovely to watch you making your new home truly “YOURS.”
As for an Easter tradition? Always, Jesus is the reason for ANY season! So, after church services we get together for a family “pot blessing (I don’t believe in luck) dinner” followed by an egg hunt for the younger ones. BUT, several years ago, hubby and I began providing an GROWN CHILDREN AND SPOUSES! Often we also have other families joining us for dinner so those parents are also included in our grown up egg hunt.
It is quite a special joy to watch all the grown children enjoying themselves just like kids again!!! And really fun to watch the spouses compete for the GOLDEN EGG, especially for the children rooting them on!!! It’s become one of our family’s all time favorite traditions
Oh, I love this idea, Deb! It sounds like so much fun!
Oh my, the look on little Miss Rubylou’s face is adorable. When I was a child, after church and before luncheon, my Dad would always bring out the various Peter Rabbit books we had and read them to all the kids. I won’t say how old I am, but I still have all those books and I still bring them out and read each Easter. Happy Easter to you and yours!
What a wonderful memory, Honoré!
Hi Cindy. I pinned your Easter table for when I’m ready to decorate for my Easter table. Very uplifting and pretty! Our Easter tradition is my daughter bakes an Easter Bunny cake. My mom used to do it every year and it’s a fond memory my whole family has of her. So happy my daughter gladly took on the role. Thank you for offering such lovely gifts. 🙂 Cindy
Such a sweet tribute! My mother used to make us a bunny cake every year as well, and we loved it!
Hi Cindy, I love your Easter table, the velvet eggs and those chocolate bunnies! So sweet, I’m going to work on making some carrots this year to go with my decor. My favorite Easter tradition is a big meal with our children and grandchildren, and of course a small egg hunt for the kids, so fun.
I also especially love celebrating by worshipping at church, the risen Savior.
Beautiful!
What a beautiful Easter table! I can’t wait to collect enough bunnies to make faux chocolate ones.
I’ve been waiting to decorate, but now I want to start. My memory of Easter was going to Mass with my parents and sister then coming home to celebrate dinner with entire family including Aunts, uncles, cousins. I loved decorating the tables even then when I was young. So much fun.
❤️❤️❤️
I love putting together Easter baskets. I still make them for my grown kids!
Wonderful, Robin!
My favorite Easter traditional is taking my son and daughter to the market to each pick out a carrot to leave for the Easter Bunny the night before Easter.
Oh, I love this, Christine!
What a beautiful table, happy to see your new home come alive! Our tradition is to have an Easter egg hunt even if there is only one child!
❤️❤️❤️
LOL – that bunny needs a dog biscuit! My favorite tradition is making the Easter baskets for my grandchildren. Each year they are a little bit different – but always with a chocolate bunny in the mix of eggs and candies. Congratulations on your new home! I love seeing all your treasures in a new setting. Keep the posts coming. I think we have all missed you.
Thank you, Lee Ann! My little “bunny” definitely needs a dog biscuit for posing for me. Even if she was a little grumpy!
My favorite tradition is the Easter egg hunt. Thanks for the chance to win.
❤️❤️❤️
I love seeing your spring and Easter decor, you’re one of my favorites! Your home is so stately and beautiful. I’m ready to decorate for spring and love the sunshine outside today.
Thank you, Terri!
A tradition that has been in my family for the past generations is making faux bunny tracks and then getting the children up to say the Easter Bunny has been here and showing them the tracks. Then after previously hiding the Easter Baskets we all go searching. As the children get older we make it more and more difficult to find where that Easter Bunny must have dropped off their basket because he is in a hurry to get to all the children’s houses. I remember as a child finding them in trees, behind shrubs, and once in our chicken coup.
Haha, this is such great memory, Debra!
Oh Cindy! Your table is gorgeous! My favorite Easter tradition is having my family come over for Easter lunch. Honey baked ham is usually on the menu along with Nana’s homemade carrot cake with cream cheese icing. I make it every Easter in honor of my mother in law . She is with Jesus now but her tradition is being carried on. Blessing to you and your family.
Sweet memories and traditions, Lorene! Thank you so much for sharing!
Easter is always going to church and coming home to family dinner. An egg hunt follows. A great time that all enjoy.
Love your arrangement. Thank you for the giveaway i need some new inspiration for Easter decor.
Thank you for commenting, Mary!
Your table is absolutely stunning! My favorite Easter tradition is filling my children’s baskets. We love being thoughtful in our giving and it’s fun to see their reactions.
❤️
Cindy your Easter table is gorgeous! You gave me inspiration to create one. I love it!
I have many fond memories of Easter traditions. A common theme they all have is family togetherness!! Cousins,uncles aunts and now grandbabies and daughter-in-laws and son-in-law and Easter egg hunts!
Ooops! Did not mean to post twice
Family is the best, Evelyn!
I look at Easter as the time to decorate for spring. It’s a new beginning just as Christ gave each of us. Your table vignette is so beautiful!
Thank you so much, Donna!
Every year well before Easter I get out my collection of handmade Easter eggs (most bought in Austria) & traditional Ukranian Easter eggs. I hang them on a wire tree displayed on my dining room table. I love seeing them every spring! I’ve loved your decor for years- blue is my favorite decor color too!
What a beautiful tradition, Nora!
Hi Cindy, RubyLou is so sweet. I love seeing her in your posts. For easter my husband and I entertain my side of the family so my siblings and their families all come for dinner. It’s A fun day visiting and seeing the kids all run around and have fun playing with each other. I actually have two favorite traditions and one is setting the table with family heirlooms and decorating the dinner table and adding ribbon and faux flowers around the dining chairs. The other favorite is the Easter egg hunt after dinner with all of the grandkids and cousins. It’s just such a fun day and beautiful Easter celebration with family.
What a wonderful tradition, Kathy!
Love love the velvet eggs. My favorite thing is watching the grandchildren hunting for the eggs and watching their expressions
Precious!
My favorite tradition is placing flowers on the cross in front of our church! By the time the service is over the cross is covered in flowers, usually brought from the homes of the congregation
Beautiful!
As I reflect back on years past, what stands out in my mind most is coloring the eggs together and then the egg hunt. At 70+ years old, my husband and I still color the eggs. (pretty sure he just goes along with it just because it delights me so). I have one large chocolate bunny that is about 30 years old. He would certainly enjoy a companion! Your table and home decor is AMAZING…thanks for sharing.
I love that you still color Easter eggs, Mary! I stopped many years ago after the children grew up, but you have inspired me to start dyeing them again!
My mother, my brother and I would make grass Easter nests outside on either side of the front door. We picked blades if grass, wild flowers, bird feathers, pretty rocks…..whatever we could find in the yard. The next morning, we had candy, eggs, and other little Easter surprises in our nests!
Love following you! Beautiful decor and ideas!!
I love this tradition, Susan!
We do the traditional Ukrainian breakfast..Easter eggs, sausages, babka (bread) and cheese.
Wonderful, Dawn!
Be still my heart! Your table is beautiful the room is beautiful your style is awesome. I’ve been looking forward to see the home you purchased and to watch how you style it. I was so sad when you left the other one you had worked so hard to make it a dream come true. I love the new bunny and the velvet eggs and berries.
Thank you so much, Alice!
Absolutely beautiful.
My Easter tradition started when I was a little girl and I continue it with my grandkids. I make an Easter cookie that uses colored eggs you wrap a dough around it to form an Easter basket. Decorate with Jelly beans and sprinkles and bake in the oven. They are a hit every year.
I love this idea, Kimberly!
Love your table setting! I have great memories of Easter Sunday as a child — getting to wear my new Easter dress complete with bonnet and gloves. After church was a special Easter dinner followed by the Easter egg hunt with all the cousins and nieces and nephews. Now as a mother I look forward to creating a wonderful dinner and baking a special Easter cake.
Thank you, Elizabeth!
What a beautiful table you have Cindy! I love it so much I chocolate-tized my bunnies and created an Easter bunny vignette. I love it!!!
My favorite memory is from my childhood. My mom would have new dresses made for my sisters and I. This was a big deal because we were poor and having a new dress to wear to school was a big treat. Then change into our play clothes and drive out to our favorite camping site and hunt for Easter eggs with all our cousins. I was so grateful for my many cousins! Still am❤️
Beautiful memories, Evelyn!
Everything is so beautiful and Miss RubyLou is adorable going incognito! My favorite tradition is an Easter egg hunt we would host for my children and their cousins. Now they are all grown and with the next generation in babyhood-I look forward to hosting them again.
A wonderful tradition, Melissa!
Only 1? My favorite Easter activity is dyeing Easter eggs.
❤️
Love love the chocolate bunnies. You inspired me to make some and I love them. My favorite Easter tradition is hiding Easter eggs with my grandchildren! So much fun. Happy Easter!!!
Happy Easter, Debbie!
Happy Easter Cindy to you and your family! It brings enjoyment to me to see how all the homes you have lived in and put your loving touch to each and everyone of them, with renovations and decor. The homes are always beautifully decorated for all the holiday celebrations, I love it! I try to celebrate with family here at home (Minneapolis) or go to Illinois and celebrate with extended family. I don’t take life for granted anymore after my hospitalization with COVID in 2020. LOVE and PEACE…Laura
Happy Easter, Laura!
Rubylou is adorable. I love your table, all favorites of mine. The eggs are awesome
❤️
Our Easter traditions were always centered around Easter Sunday and the Resurrection. The 40 days of lent was a time for fasting, giving up something you loved and getting up very early before school and going to mass.Easter Sunday we celebrated with a roast beef, potatoes, onions and carrots baked together Moms gravy was the best. Then we took marshmallow chocolate covered eggs to the gypsies for their children. We loved doing this even though we didn’t have much ourselves. Every year at Easter they would park in a big field next to the church and stay awhile. Their wagons were beautifully decorated and they always had a fire going. I guess they were the real “traveling people” Wonderful memories.
Beautiful memories, Teresa! Thank you for sharing!
My mother would always get me new Easter clothes n shoes for church on Easter Sunday
❤️
Beautiful beautiful table. Our favorite Easter tradition is the race for my grandchildren to find the prize gold egg. Some of our eggs have candy, some change but one has real money as the call it. Happy Easter.
Happy Easter, Susan!
Your home has beautiful bones, and it’s looking so gorgeous! But I expect nothing less from you! Thanks for the awesome eye candy.
Thank you so much, Jacki!
There is a tradition in our family of making a coconut cake that has white mountain frosting and is filled between layers with pineapple filling. It’s a scrumptious cake and is delicious. This has been passed down 4 generations that I know of and when my granddaughter helps me this year that will be the 5th generation learning.
Of course coupled with that cake will be the traditional Easter feast served after attending church services. Easter is a day of blessings that we will be remembering as we gather as a family.
Lovely tradition, Jo Ann!
Cindy, what a beautiful table for Easter. Love seeing Ruby Lou especially in her bunny costume. My favorite Easter memory is of my grandmother. She made an Easter Bonnet every year to wear to a function and boy they were sometimes quite something to see. It always brings a smile to my face to think about that.
Oh my, I would love to see some of those Easter bonnets, Deb!
We always had Easter at my grandmas and I helped cook & I always helped stuff the eggs for the Easter egg hunt.
Wonderful tradition, Elizabeth! ❤️
Your dining room is beautiful and inspiring. My favorite Easter tradition is being together with family and celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
❤️❤️❤️
Your table setting is absolutely beautiful! Love Miss RubieLou’s outfit too! Our favorite tradition is coloring eggs and hiding them even though my daughters are teenagers now.
Thank you, Kellie!
Cindy, beautiful display! I love Easter or its season of Hope!
My favorite tradition is to take a bite of the ear from the chocolate Easter bunny I give to my daughter. She’s 39 years old. That’s a lot of bites!
What a cute tradition, Anne!
Beautiful as always, and so inspiring! Thank you for sharing. Our favorite Easter tradition is hiding the eggs for the mad search for them on Easter morning; even though our kids are all adults now, they still race around and our home is once again full of their laughter.
A wonderful tradition, Sandra!
First may I say ,”Thank you “, for sharing your beautiful home . Each photo reflects such a welcome to spring & the celebration of Easter ..I love Easter. Something wonderful opens up inside me with a thrill of hope and the promise of new life . I watch my birds return and build their nests, the sky seems brighter and the smell of the earth warming up from the sun brings a welcome to tulips, crocus , pansies all popping their heads out of the dirt..Spring and Easter are among my favorites in this life
I agree, Sandra!
My favorite time about easter was the Lenten season before Easter day. Church and the reading of the stations of the cross each Friday. Then Easter day we all gather and celebrate the special day. The table would be loaded with all we, gave up for lent and fasting. The baskets were on display and I always decorated over the top with the kitchen welch hutch. Your new bunnies would be a welcome addition. Going to try. Lets hope they look half as beautiful as yours.
A wonderful tradition, Melva!
A beautiful tradition, Melva!
The colors look so beautiful. It’s hard to think spring when it is still snowing in the Detroit area. However, my Easter display makes me smile. I am sure yours does the same for you. We don’t all need to look the same in our displays or anything else for that matter, it just needs to make us happy ! Happy Spring you’all !
Thank you so. much, Sheri!
What a gorgeous way to celebrate Easter and the arrival of spring! My favorite Easter memories are from my childhood. We would all dress up and head to the sunrise service, which was held outdoors at our church. I would wear my new spring coat (do they even make spring coats anymore?). After the service we would go out to breakfast at a local restaurant. Eating out was a very special treat. Then we would go to a local park that had beautiful azalea gardens. It was always a special memory. And, funny thing, I never remember it raining!
A wonderful memory, Gayle!
Oh how I would love to cozy up to your table. So beautiful. I painted rabbits like yours after I saw what you had done. Love mine as well. Thanks for the idea. We as a family go to Good Friday services and then on Sunday celebrate the Risdn Savior with lunch together.
Thank you, Cherry!
Everything you create is breathtaking! My favorite tradition is to us my daughter’s first sweetest bunny basket in my decorations. Every year it reminds me of my daughter’s first Easter 38 years ago. Happily, I found another one, and now my granddarling loves playing with it.
What a wonderful memory and tradition, Debbie!
Looks beautiful as always! I just love your style and find it inspirational. My favorite Easter tradition is gathering Easter Sunday after Mass for a traditional ham dinner. Now that I have grandkids I love to watch them do the Easter egg hunt.
Thank you, Kathy!
Cindy, this is stunning, as always. I don’t think I have one favorite Easter memory. I have a few. I remember childhood Easter celebrations with all family members gathered around my grandparents table. After mass, and a rather chaotic Easter egg hunt, there would be a glorious luncheon of ham and deviled eggs and you just knew spring was here. As an adult, celebrating with my children, Easter took on a new meaning. Showing them the sacrifice of Christ, and another layer of family love and tradition, there just aren’t words to describe it. At 25,22, and 18, they still dye eggs with me. Easter is pretty special in this house. ❤️
Such beautiful traditions, Ashley!
When Spring and Easter come, I feel the need for bright green! I get out pillows, tablecloth, faux greenery with maybe some yellow (think Forsythia) as well as my Fitz and Floyd rabbits to brighten up my living and dining room! I am thinking some faux chocolate rabbits would make a good addition!
Thank you, Linda!
Best part of Easter is the whole family gathering to color Easter eggs. The joy and laughter is so affirming of what a family is even though a silly, fun project using our creativity.
Yes, family is everything, Carolyn!
Hi Cindy, Your Easter table is gorgeous!!! The velvet eggs and carrots look so elegant placed among the faux hydrangea and various leaves. I love to decorate the house, dye eggs and share a delicious dinner with my family in the afternoon. Years ago, I worked for a wonderful Italian family and Grandma Tina taught me how to make Easter Wheat Pie (Pastiera di Grano). It’s flavored with orange flower water which gives it a unique, elegant taste. It’s labor intensive and takes days to put together, but the pie is like no other. But Easter to me is about the Cross, the Resurrection and the hope it affords us all. This gift along with singing the beautiful Easter hymns in church on Sunday morning make this my favorite part of this special holiday.
What a wonderful tradition, Susan!
Beautiful as always! also use brightly colored eggs on my table – they seem likes drops of joy. I also have a large variety of eggs, including Ukrainian eggs that I scatter everywhere – more joy! Love your new house
Thank you, Julie!
Your table is gorgeous and I do love the faux chocolate bunnies. Your pup is just precious too! Looks a lot like our new baby! My favorite Easter tradition is coloring eggs the night before with my niece.
Thank you, Donnette!
Your home is so lovely. Easter is one of my favorite seasons. I love to set up my smocked egg tree in the Dining room. Our family gets together after church for a dinner.
What a lovely tradition! I’ve never seen an smocked egg tree. It sounds beautiful!
Dearest Cindy, is there anything you can’t decorate/style or make look like a million bucks ? This gorgeous spread looks like it comes straight out of a high end decorating magazine ! And Miss RubyLou looks so stinking ADORABLE !! I LOVE all of it ! And I think you’re spot on (as usual) about adding the moulding and the darker color, it will make an already beautiful looking room stand out even more. As always dear Cindy, everything you touch/do amazes and is not only beautiful but is also full of magic and wonderment, a true feast for the eye ! Love, love, LOVE it !
A tradition for Easter that we do is an Easter egg hunt. I used to hide eggs throughout the house when my son was little and now I do it with my precious grandson and we so enjoy it ! My grandson will be 5 on the Fourth of July and it’s so much fun continuing little traditions like that with him. It keeps us young !
Again, thank you so much for sharing your awesome talent with us dearest Cindy, you are a true gift to us all. Happy Easter dear friend and may the good Lord always shine His light on you and yours. LindyLou xxx
Thank you, LindyLou! Your kind words mean so much to me, dear friend. Your Easter egg hunt with your precious grandson sounds like so much fun! Happy Easter!
Love your dining room table! Looks beautiful and those bunnies look so real. I could just take a bite! It has always been a big tradition in our family to die the Easter eggs. Very competitive! There is always the “brown egg” award given to the ugly duckling egg. Of course, celebrating the resurrection of our Lord is the highlight of our Easter celebration. After church we always have a big family dinner. Any time spent with family is always sweet. Thank you for the giveaway opportunity. Love those velvet eggs!!
I love your tradition, Sandy! It sounds like it would be so much fun! Love the “brown egg” award!
My favorite Easter tradition is getting dressed up in an Easter outfit and going to church.
Wonderful, Marie!
Putting a ham in the oven then going to church has been our tradition for years. Welcome to Fairhope! We love it here.
Thank you, Sandra!
I was so caught up with the love of spring and Easter I forgot to mention a favorite tradition….As an extended family of great grandmother and her posterity we gather on a Sat before Easter Sunday for a picnic…and of course a huge egg hunt…Generations of family with baskets in hand race around the family farm looking for treasures and hidden eggs…We follow with the perfect picnic . Each family attending bring their best and favorite picnic dish.. The laughter of children, Generations ( now 5) renew friendships and we hold the new babies with love…Easter Sunday finds us all in church with clean new dresses and shirts and ties….Here we give thanks and gratitude for life, for the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ…for blessing and gifts from heaven
This is beautiful, Sandra! Thank you so much for sharing!
I always look forward to reading your post. I love all your decorating ideas. Your table is gorgeous. I always decorate for Easter even though it’s just me and my husband and my little pup Emma. I enjoy it so much. Thanks for sharing all your ideas.
Thank you, Brenda! We don’t have big Easter celebrations any longer. We’ve lost so much family, so it will just be me and hubby, and Miss RubyLou! But I love to decorate for Easter! It’s such a beautiful time of the year!
I LOVE your decorating style! and really enjoy reading your blog!
My favorite Easter tradition is the Cajun French “pacquing” of eggs! This “game” involves knocking boiled eggs…point to point! Each person holds an egg in their fisted hand. One person “knocks” the other person’s egg. The person’s egg that does NOT crack is the winner and gets to keep both eggs! What is so great about this is that every age level can participate! The competition becomes hilarious! It’s amazing to see pictures year after year of everyone pacquing!!!The eggs are then collected and are made into a variety of dishes….deviled eggs, egg salad, pickled eggs, etc. and served for Easter lunch!!!
I’ve never heard of the “pacquing” of eggs! What fun!
The tradition I like the most was the Easter dinner with all the family, my grandparents, oncle aunts and cousins. We had to much fun.
To gather with family is the best, Diane! Thank you for commenting!
My favorite Easter tradition is definitely coloring Easter eggs!! I loved trying different techniques every year, although we ALWAYS did some in traditional PAAS ! When the kids all grew up I found some paper mache’ eggs and I hand painted them. I have also found free printable coloring pages of eggs and have done them as well. To me it just isn’t Easter unless I have colored an egg or two!
I love coloring Easter eggs as well, Margie! So much fun!
Hi Cindy, your table looks gorgeous! My favorite Easter memory is every year when my girls were little I would put a new bathing suit in their Easter basket! They always looked forward to that! We would go to church then out for lunch and then of course the hunt was on!
How sweet, Sharon!
I love everything you do!!! Attending church on this special of special Sundays has always been our favorite. Each year I feel plastic eggs with tiny toys, a little candy and money for my seven grands. Names are put on the outside of eggs so it is assured they each find the sam amount. When they were really small eggs were coded by color instead of names. I have been doing this for 23 years. My grands look so forward to it and so do I.
What a wonderful tradition, Elaine!
Hello and thank you for your post, I so enjoyed. My favorite Easter Tradition is getting all dressed up in are Spring outfits and attire and going to church to celebrate what Easter is truly about and listening to our pastor recite Do you know my God. So powerful and uplifting!
The best way to celebrate Easter!
Our family gets together after church services to enjoy a time of food, fun, and fellowship. When our two grand daughters were a little younger, we would hide Easter eggs for them. Now we just give them a basket of their favorite treats. Oh, and a carrot cake always makes an appearance. Your little pup looks adorable in her Easter outfit.
That sounds beautiful, Leta!
The chocolate bunnies are my favorite creation. I can’t wait to hit the second hand stores to find some to paint. I love the new house Cindy, can you give us a tour? I am still grieving for your old charming home!!! But I have no doubt you will whip this into great shape! My Easter tradition is baking an Italian Ricotta lemon vanilla cake ( instead of a pie) and Pizzelle cookies and hiding eggs for my daughter who are now 14 and 19! Lol
What a wonderful tradition, Lisa! I used to make Pizzelle cookies for my son when he was little!
My favorite Easter tradition is attending Easter Vigil Mass and watching the baptisms and confirmations of those newly coming to our Lord! For me, that is what it is all about
So special, Mary!
Love your table decor for Easter! My favorite Easter tradition was my mother hiding our Easter baskets, although it was the Easter bunny who hid them of course. Do you know she continued to do this into my late 20’s? My sister and I would remind her every year we were no longer children, and she would respond just let me have my day. Of course, how could we say no to that? Since we were unable to have children of our own, do you know my husband and I have continued the tradition with our pup? Call us crazy, but I couldn’t let go of the tradition.
Oh, so sweet, Cara!
